Abstract:
Amid the tepid news about the economic recovery, the Nano Science and Technology Institute's annual Nanotech conference here showed evidence of robust growth and growing optimism about the industrial future of nanotechnology. Conference coordinators were seeing three times the participants from last year, and keynoter Clayton Teague, who heads the government's National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, noted that the recent National Nanotechnology Initiative was approved by an overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress.
